see them for their rally to get smart people to get out of the people on the squares to give it to art really support. hard core to our civic and political right there and these really. critical traps in there are huge special repeat course want to start to collaborate with there. are a shrink i want to throw it back you can't really because there's a provision called somebody to start iraq here. for his parts to caiaphas brushed aside concerns about police crackdown some protesters saying he said ministration would build up and dialogue with those who support the government and those who are against the government. these images though will do little to persuade the opposition in kazakhstan that they have voices will be had when their new leader takes up the reins of power there. joining us now

is due to abuse aaron tilden who's been monitoring the story for us and good to see you in addition to those arrests i understand the communications have been difficult all day in kazakhstan today as well can you add to that yes i can one internet observatory network called not block that we've been talking to has said that they noticed a widespread decrease in air traffic this morning indicating that the i.s.t.'s units are providers in kazakhstan or stretching the flow of some of them free communication in the country now this supposedly korak was coordinated with the arrest of several high profile journalist opposition figures an attempt to prevent their message from getting out to the people in large. they've also been concerns i understand about irregularities yes there have been while we've been talking to many different election observer groups local groups on the ground in kazakhstan and they've sent in some rather interesting video i mean we've seen some reports of ballot stuffing those election workers putting made to way too many ballots in the ballot boxes but also there was this video which i believe are seen right now and

it shows what one election observer saw in a in a district outside of. the largest city basically said there were some irregularities with the pens people are being used to vote on now we see him signing a piece of paper right here he brings it out to some of the election workers and shows that the in caruthers surprisingly is actually disappearing ink when it's exposed to heat or over time as well as reading it vanishes and completely disappears now it's kind of a shocking almost comic book twist but according to election of reserve service i've spoken to and some of the research we've been doing it's actually a substantial trick that's been used to kind of discredit the voting in certain regions so to be clear that would be a ballot basically you would write on that thing and then your vote would disappear exactly and that's kind of the strategy we've seen now this is something that's cropped up in several posts over countries and the last several years in 2004 in ukraine there was a very very famous and actual widely reported incident of this tactic being used as a way to discredit the votes in a certain area to make sure that the votes that would most likely go to

a certain candidate wouldn't be counted in the long term so you know it seems quite you know quite surprising if you see it but it is a trick that does have some history behind i think you're beginning to answer my 3rd question which is essentially how can we be confident about the authenticity of the video we just saw well as i was saying i mean that is the big question right now the organization which provide us with the video said they're looking into it themselves they have seen these reports of this in other areas as well they're checking their own video talking don't reporters right now but as i said this is a tactic which we've seen in other post soviet countries like the ukraine would be the 1st definitely wouldn't be the 1st time in all of this isn't the only irregularity that we're seeing there so there are going to be some press conferences in the coming days from the observing groups so i have to wait and see what exactly they found while they were observing these elections and thanks so much for that information thank you. here's one business that shows bigger isn't always better garden gnomes have a long history in germany but one of the country's last traditional no

manufacturers may soon be forced to close its doors. right now it's grievous the 4th generation in his family to make known for a living his great grandfather founded the company in $874.00 now right now just looking ahead to retirement and that's created something of a problem. i'm searching for a successor who works like we have done but at the moment i can't find anyone who has to courage to go on making gnomes here in germany to go to. his workshop isn't going to a village and what was east germany shortly before the fall of the bear them all in 1909 the firm had 60 employees now you just 3 people work here anyone taking over will need attention to detail. from the shia they shouldn't because it's a bit between the shirt and the tries is needs to be very precise and. bright colors

and quirky expressions there are many other reasons known as continue to be popular . got construct with a name radiates a certain kind of friendliness so gnomes tend to be made with smiling faces and i believe we humans need that there are enough stupid faces around us to see. right now it also gives tours of his workshop and there's even a small museum on site entirely dedicated to numerous enthusiastic who their smiley faces who want to sit here forever. it's day 3 of the women's world cup and joining me to talk about the action is oliver moody from d.w. sports all the today's match the 1st one was between australia and italy how did it go didn't go as expected well i expected it to be a very tight game and i was certainly right on that count michel but i have to admit i was a little bit surprised by the outcome and that is because italy who are the

underdogs going into this going produced an excellent display to bait a very talented australian side before us any more about it our let's take a look at the highlights. australia were awarded an early penalty and the chance for a dream start captain samantha kurtzer responsibility sloughing her lines 1st before slotting home the rebound was a heavy touch from defending clare poking home allowed italy's bobbitt i've been in syria a run i'm told in the 55th minute. was the striker staying cool to draw her side level. with the game well into injury time it's really won a free kick. and been n.c.o. was under it again to score and hand her side a dramatic late winner. the

whistle went shortly after confirming that she won results by bits of pill to swallow for duck course is all straight. i. owe you a lot of people were expecting australia to challenge for the title so what went wrong against italy well they just didn't really seem to have that act together today one of those days for them you know even as we saw they go from a rebound from a missed penalty thunderball the shot specially that defense i thought was kind of all over the place at the back it's really actually could have scored more goals they had 2 goals ruled out for offside but let's stop to give them some credit as well rather than just talking about a poor australia where you know it's really haven't been a world cup for 20 years now today they certainly look like they belong on the big stage will tell you who belong but was in there was more to the stronger brazil shows no one anywhere on the pitch how did they fare without her they got on just fine which was kind of expected because they're playing newcomers to the world cup jamaica they came out 3 no win is brazil in this one we can see some highlights

from this as well cristiana it was who was the heroine for them as she got the opening goal for brazil with a head. of the year glancing finished in order to get resilin there she added a 2nd goal with some excellent reactions in the back of the book. agonizing for jamaica i thought i'd just about played it off the line but not quite and just look at this one beauty of a free kick to make you know. let's not get too excited about brazil i think they will need mata back and in her best form if they're going to go a long way at this tournament and certainly if they want to challenge for the title of the movie thanks so much tennis now and rafael nadal has snapped his record extending 12th french open singles title by beating dominant team of austria the spaniard known as the king of clay took the 1st set 63 team
